2024 British Superbike Championship

The 2024 British Superbike Championship is the 37th season of the motorcycle championship. Tommy Bridewell is the defending champion, having won the 2023 season by half a point over then-teammate Glenn Irwin.[1]

Rule Changes

Incorporated into the 2024 season is a lesser-class of machine, entitled 'Pathway', to be run concurrently within the same scheduled events. The aim is to allow new participants to enter at a reduced cost with a machine closer in specification to Superstock 1000. Trials were held within some races during the 2023 season.[2]

Two support classes were not carried on into 2024. The first, the National Junior Superstock Championship, was discontinued because there are only two manufacturers available with no future options and no ability for a balance of performance formula. The second, the British Junior Supersport Championship, was discontinued because there was only one viable manufacturer, making it a de facto one make series. It was replaced with a properly budgeted and technically controlled one make series with the new Kawasaki British Superteen Championship using Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR machines.[3]

Teams and riders

Riders with a superscript P are part of the Pathway class.
